Andrew says that potatoes will cook faster in vigorously boiling water than in gently boiling water. Madison disagrees. Whom do you agree with, and why?
To Explain: Whether potatoes will be cooked faster in vigorously boiling water or in gently boiling water.
Answer to Problem 44A
Potatoes will be cooked in the same way in both the cases.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction: The changing phase of water from liquid to gas beneath a liquid surface is termed as the boiling. As the pressure increases on the surface of a liquid, the boiling point of liquid also increases.
It doesn't matter water boils vigorously or gently because potatoes will cook at the same temperature.
Conclusion: Potatoes will be cooked at the same temperature in both cases.
